The Convention Bureau is willing to assign an employee to <br />City and promote the City as a tourist destination and, in return, the City will provide the Convention <br />Bureau's employee with an office space and some office supplies, including an office telephone and a <br />computer. <br /> <br />The Convention Bureau is an internationally recognized entity with links to various marketing groups and <br />sites that can amplify the City's identity as a preferred tourist destination to potential tourists, business <br />persons and international travelers. As you all know, our City has become a haven for local tourists and <br />international travelers. Thus, this is a great opportunity for the City to maximize its exposure to local <br />vacationers and the world, as well as having a branch office of Convention Bureau at City Hall. To that <br />end, I am in favor of this partnership. <br /> <br />Partnership - Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau <br />
